Newsbusters Loves Me! They Really Love Me!

Share article:

Loony Rightwing website Newsbusters seems to have a complaint about Mike Malloy and me, though I’ll be damned if I know what it is, even after reading their article.

In any case, thanks for helping us spread the word, Newsbusters!

* * *

UPDATE 10/10/11: When I asked Tim Graham, the author of the silly NewsBusters report cited above, what exactly his complaint was, since it’s not particularly clear, he Tweeted to me that “Lefties have this arrogance problem where the conservatives are always ‘dumb as dirt’.”

In response, I tweeted back: “Generalize much? Did I say ‘conservatives are always ‘dumb as dirt”? Or that Cain was? You’re a media critic. Get it right.”

His response in kind: “I wasn’t just talking about you and this show. I was generalizing that liberals always thinking they’re the smartest. Arrogant.”

Of course, his “generalizing” article neither makes that claim, nor bothers to support any part of his contention. Lazy wingnut journalism — and nice quotes by both Malloy and me about the pathetic state of Republican support for corporatist cronyism and corruption over the general welfare of middle-class American citizens — is all we’re left with. So thanks again for helping to get the word out, NewsBusters!

    Well, of course the Right is upset with you, Brad.

    You told the truth. How unfair of you!

    Hmmm, hard to say…I’d guess they didn’t like the potty mouth (extreme rhetoric, or some such) and it seems maybe they are against NONVIOLENCE (y’know, it’s a Lefty plot).

    Oops! Brad, you just did the same thing. I never heard of Newsbusters before…but now I have. And you even provided a link! Big boo-boo, Brad. But I’m not interested in going there to be exposed to their tripe. Others might be, though.

    Did you know that my color-blind husband can’t read some of the chars? Black and white would be best.

    See my comment to Dan above. Secondly, you have nothing to fear from being exposed to them, as they are transparent liars and phonies. On the other hand, if their readers learn what we have to say, a few of them may just be swayed. Truth is like it.

    We are largely black & white (with the exception of red links, as they need to stand out). Which chars is he having trouble reading?
